Fugate says “we’re going to do what we’re supposed to do.” He says FEMA “will work with the White House on funds needed to recover from this and other disasters.” The agency has less than $800 million left in its disaster coffers.

“The agency has less than $800 million left in its disaster coffers.” …extract from article

I thought FEMA was part of the ‘war on terror team’…no?

Evidently these agencies don’t share funding when it comes to domestic natural disasters, but they have beaucoup bucks for surveillance gadgets along with Homeland Security/TSA “flatliners” groping citizens at airports, train stations and bus depots. / : |

Actually I’m glad they are going broke, due to the demonstrated wastage of Federal funds associated with the FEMA ‘assisted’ Katrina disaster.

Our government going broke is the only way it can be euthanized with our remnant nation reverting to state and local control. We don’t need no stinkin’ ‘leaders/reps’ in D.C. to squander our tax dollars along with indebting us to the 12th of forever. I’m also for moving the seat of the nation’s capital to the Midwest, possibly Nebraska away from the Boston~New York City axis of financial evil with “dirty money” links to old Europe. This would also mean a defacto end of the Federal Reserve along with their ongoing “funny money” scams. The Fed has managed to destroy this nation in less than one hundred years since its founding with their engineered boom and bust cycles.
